Ben Hartsock hoping to change 'perceptions' about role

by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

(7/14/2013)Panthers starting tight end Greg Olsen shares general manager Dave Gettleman's belief backup tight end Ben Hartsock, who had two receptions in 2012, could net more receptions in 2013, according to the Panthers' official website.

"Ben Hartsock had a terrific spring," Gettleman said. "He's a lot better than people understand. There are a lot of things that he does that bring real value to the table."

Hartsock was heavily targeted during offseason practices.

"I hoped I changed perceptions a bit about my role," Hartsock said. "Every year you try to work on your weaknesses and improve your strengths. I felt like I did a good job of capitalizing on the opportunities I got as far as being able to run down the field some and catch some balls."
